Ao apresentar em linhas gerais e estabelecer o pensamento de Otto como referencial teórico-conceitual, pretende-se iluminar e descrever a experiência da personagem-título do romance como uma experiência religiosa marcada por aquela característica realçada pelo pensador alemão na sua obra em questão: a vivência do divino como experiência dos sentimentos antagônicos do terror e do fascínio. Partindo do conceito de numinoso apresentado e definido por Otto, em O sagrado, como o aspecto irracional da religião vivenciado de forma sentimental, intenta-se discutir as dificuldades da apreensão e comunicação da vivência do numinoso e o aspecto totalmente outro da experiência relatada por G.H. / This study has as aim the theme analysis in the work A paixão segundo G.H., of Clarice Lispector, that can be described as akin to a perspective of the religion showed by the philosopher and theologian Rudolf Otto in his work The idea of the Holy. To show in general lines and to establish Otto’s thought as reference, intending to illuminate and to describe the experience of the character G.H. as a religious experience appointed by that characteristic enhanced by the german thinker in his work: the divine living as the feeling experience antagonistic to the terror and the fascination. Departing from the concept of numinous showed and defined by Otto, in The idea of the Holy, as the unreasonable aspect lived in a sentimental way, intending to discuss the difficulties of the communication's of living of the numinous and the Wholly Other aspect of the experience related by G.H.

Y-a-t-il une cohérence interne entre l'expérience vécue et la pensée politique chez Simone Weil ? Afin de ressaisir le questionnement de Simone Weil sur les conditions de possibilité de la liberté, notre recherche porte en premier lieu sur les critiques qu'elle a adressées aux théories philosophiques et politiques de Marx. Il s'agit donc tout autant d'analyser l'influence que Marx a pu avoir sur elle, que de prendre la mesure des écarts que sa critique l'a amenée à poser, et des principes philosophiques dont elle s'est servie à cet effet. Nous étudions, dans un deuxième temps, l'essence même du phénomène de l'oppression et à partir de là, nous dégageons quelques perspectives de la liberté individuelle et sociale, dans le sillage de ce que nous propose la philosophie. Y-a-t-il une cohérence de la ligne politique dans laquelle elle a voulu placer ses engagements sociaux et politiques pour répondre à ce problème ? Il convient pour nous, dans un troisième temps, de connaître et d'examiner le chemin qui l'a amenée à l'expérience religieuse et ce qu'elle a dit sur la connaissance surnaturelle comme la part indispensable pour rendre la vie sociale respirable. Comment concevoir la relation entre les deux expériences politique et religieuse chez elle ? Cette approche religieuse constitue-t-elle une ouverture à l'égard de sa critique politique ? / Is there an internal consistency between the experiences lived out by Simone Weil and her political thought ? In order to grasp her questioning of the conditions of the possibility of freedom, our search starts off with the critique which she wrote on the philosophical and political theories of Marx. It is therefore a matter of analysing the influence that Marx might have had on her, as well as studying the differences which her critique led her to present, and the philosophical principles of which she made use to this effect. One should secondly look at the very essence of the phenomenon of oppression, and hence gauge several perspectives on individual and social freedom, in the wake of what is proposed by this philosophy. Is there a consistency in the political line in which she wanted to place her social and political commitments in order to respond to this problem ? One should, thirdly, examine and get to know the path which led her to religious experience and what she said about supernatural knowledge as the essential component for leading a bearable social life. How do we conceive the relationship between both her religious and political experiences ? Does this approach constitute an opening with regards to her political critique ?

La présente thèse articule les deux catégories fondamentales de la philosophie de la religion : le « moi » et le « divin », ce en dialogue avec deux interlocuteurs privilégiés, Fichte et Nabert, chez lesquels cette double thématique fut exploitée de manière originale et géniale. Fichte pense le « moi » comme le centre de l'intériorité et de la vie consciente de l'homme qui est une activité incessante vers l'unité de soi. Nabert, quant à lui, part du concept fichtien du « moi » pour élaborer la catégorie du « divin » ; celui-ci apparaît alors comme une demande de la conscience en sa structure fondamentale : elle le reçoit alors qu'il s'affirme à même le« moi». L'examen conjoint de de ces deux pensées apporte, nous cherchons à le montrer, une contribution majeure à la philosophie de la religion contemporaine : elle permet en effet à celle-ci d'avancer dans les réponses aux nombreux défis qu'il lui appartient de relever, soit : la redécouverte de certains préliminaires comme la conscience religieuse, le langage adéquat sur « Dieu », la question critériologique dans la désignation du « divin », le « témoignage » absolu. A cet effet, trois catégories principales sont sollicitées et éprouvées : I'« intériorité » et la place de I'« affectivité » dans l'expérience religieuse, enfin la « vérité » qui polarise toute réflexion philosophique sur la religion. / The present thesis articulates two fundamental categories of the philosophy of religion: the « 1 » and the « divine », it is in the dialogue with two privileged interlocutors, Fichte and Nabert, where this double theme was exploited in an original and brilliant way. Fichte thinks of the « 1 » as the center of the interiority and the conscious lite of a man, which is an incessant activity towards unity of self. Nabert, on his part, starts from the Fichte's concept of the « 1 » and elaborate the category of the « divine »; this last appears as a demand of the consciousness in its fundamental structure: it the « divine » as the one that affirms itself in the « 1 ». The joint examination of these two thoughts brings, as we try to show, a major contribution to the contemporary philosophy of religion. lndeed, this contribution allows philosophy of religion to advance in the answers to many challenges that rise up before it: the rediscovery of certain preliminaries such as the religious consciousness, the adequate language about « Gad », the question about criterion in the designation of the « divine », absolute « testimony ». For that purpose, three main categories are solicited and approved: « interiority » and the place of « affectivity » in religious experience, and finally « truth » which polarizes all philosophical reflection on religion.

Sammanfattning Syftet med denna etnografiska fältstudie är att utforska, förstå och skildra hur deltagare upplever de återkommande retreatdagarna i en svenskkyrklig församling utanför Stockholm. Centralt är att ta del av människors egna berättelser, hur de tolkar, förstår och ger mening till det de är med om. Studien befinner sig inom forskningsfältet levd religion. Här ligger tonvikten på hur religion och andlighet praktiseras, upplevs och uttrycks av vanliga människor, snarare än officiella företrädare. Meredith McGuires forskning om levd religion samt Nancy Ammermans forskning kring vardagsreligiositet och andliga landskap har fungerat som teoretisk resurs. Inom fältet levd religion har jag särskilt fokuserat på tre dimensioner: relationer, religiös praktik och berättelser. Efter transkribering och kodning av fältanteckningar samt intervjuer med åtta retreatdeltagare, framträdde sju teman som strukturerar resultatredovisningen i uppsatsen. Temana rubriceras som: Gudsrelation, inre bilder och drömmar, Att uthärda svårigheter och få nytt hopp, Gemenskap och egentid, Ansvar och handling, Blandning av religiösa traditioner, Rum, symboler och artefakter samt Vila i Gud. Eftersom en stor del av empirin bygger på respondenters berättelser görs också en narrativ analys för att förstå livsberättelsens dramaturgi i vår samtid. I konklusionen konstateras att relationer, både till andra människor och Gud, var centrala för respondenternas meningsskapande. Möten med andra troende nyckelpersoner var avgörande när retreatdeltagarna återgav milstolpar i sina livsberättelser. Relationen till den kristna treenige guden framträder som levande och vänskaplig, det är en gud som man både kan anförtro sig till och ifrågasätta. Endagsretreater är en kyrklig praktik som visade sig kunna bidra till en transformativ process när det gäller människors meningsskapande och livstolkning.

Systematic Theology, like all other disciplines, are subject to basic assumptions about its first principles, which is determinant for the way the discipline understands itself and does its work. The consequential perception the discipline has of knowledge acquisition and method of research in turn determines its interpretation of the knowledge acquired. The three areas of understanding (metaphysical assumptions, epistemological theories and ethical praxis) together form a cycle that builds the basis of a paradigm. Paradigms are continually present and are by nature developmental. The development from the macro-, to the messo-, and micro-levels in the structure of a paradigm is described through the three areas of understanding, providing a method for analysing paradigms. Using a developmental method of observation (affective awareness), analysis (ontological way of understanding), theorising (a different way of thinking) and application (ethical responsible living) suggests a fundamental reconsideration of the task of all disciplines, including systematic theology. / Systematic Theology & Theological Ethics / M. Th.(Systematic Theology)

近年來台灣受過高等教育的知識份子，熱中參與新興宗教及擬似宗教的修煉團體。本研究的目的是希望瞭解受世俗理性教育下的知識份子，為何會投入民間教派的靜坐修煉活動，並討論當初學習靜坐的動機與需求，以及對宗教是否有另一套科學－理性的理解模式。 本研究採質性研究取向，以天帝教中知識份子為個案，透過參與觀察、非結構式訪談及文獻分析等方法，試圖瞭解天帝教知識份子參與靜坐修煉的歷程，包括學習靜坐的動機，在修煉過程中的神秘經驗、社會關係的轉變，以及參與信仰論述合理化的行動。 研究發現學習靜坐的動機可分為「解決問題取向」及「非解決問題取向」，前者是被迫要解決具危機感的問題與麻煩；後者為了滿足生命更高的需求層次。靜坐改變以小我為中心世界觀，轉向注重大我，因此家庭關係跟人際關係都趨向和諧，人生觀也從追求個人成就轉向謀求眾人福祉。至於從單純靜坐學習者到成為融入組織的虔信者，中間轉換過程是經由突然跳躍的意識。 最後，本文也指出三項天帝教知識份子對於自我角色的定位模式，藉此凸顯他們在不同知識系統間如何加自我調適，乃至於說明當代知識份子跟宗教團體間的關係及其角色。 關鍵詞：新興宗教、天帝教、知識份子、靜坐、宗教經驗 / Recent years in Taiwan, new religions and religion-like spiritual practice cults appeal to higher educated intellectuals. The main purpose of this study is to realize why these science-ration educated intellectuals were enthusiastic in sectarian religious practice. In this study we discussed their motivation and need for learning meditation. Further more, we'd also like to know whether they have some kind of science-ration patterns of cognition on their religion belief and practice. By case study on The Lord of Universe Church (T'ienti Chiao), a qualitative aspect, such as participant observation, non-structed interview and literature analysis is employed by this study, which tries to understand the process of the intellectuals among the Lord of Universe Church participating in meditation practice, including their motivation of learning meditation, mystical experience of“CHI”, changing of relationships, and the construction of rationalizing belief discourse. Key Words: new religions/ The Lord of Universe Church (The T'ientVs Teachings/ T'ienti Chiao)/ intellectuals/ meditation practice (Quiet Sitting)/ religious experience

PUC Campinas / This study aims to analyze the influences that a religious model has on a religious community, stablishing a correlation between Max Scheler?s conception of religious model, ethical progress and religious experience with the bible text Sermon on Mount, specially, the Antitheses (Mt 5, 17-48) and the Lord?s Prayer ritual orientation. With this purpose, in this study is made a research to identify the religious model from Matthew?s community to understand the powerful influence to the construction of the meanings in the social world of this community. This study was possible approaching Max Scheler?s phenomenological works to contextualize the religious model, religious experience and ethical progress concepts. As well as, it was necessary to go deep in historical, social and exegetical aspects from Matthew?s bible text. It was necessary to enable the correlation method associated to the Matthew?s bible text phenomenological analyses to apply Scheler?s horizon to the bible reality, to answer what is the relation between a religious model and religious experience in the community from the Matthew?s bible text. / O presente trabalho tem o prop?sito de analisar as for?as de influ?ncia que o modelo religioso exerce em uma comunidade religiosa. Isso se fundamenta a partir da correla??o estabelecida entre a conceitua??o de modelo religioso, progresso ?tico e experi?ncia religiosa ao mundo social apreendido do texto b?blico o Serm?o da Montanha. A an?lise ter? como objeto a releitura do texto o Serm?o da Montanha, localizado no Evangelho de Mateus, em espec?fico, as Ant?teses (Mt 5.17-48) e a orienta??o ritual?stica do Pai-Nosso (Mt 6.5-15), ? luz do pensamento de Max Scheler. Partindo desse prop?sito, busca-se identificar o modelo religioso da comunidade mateana e compreender a for?a de influ?ncia desse modelo nos significados do mundo social dessa comunidade. O arcabou?o conceitual foi constru?do tendo como base obras do per?odo fenomenol?gico de Max Scheler para contextualiza??o dos conceitos de modelo religioso, progresso ?tico e experi?ncia religiosa. Foi necess?ria a constru??o de uma abordagem cr?tica dos aspectos hist?ricos, sociais e exeg?ticos da per?cope mateana. Por isso, foi poss?vel, a partir do m?todo da correla??o associado ? an?lise fenomenol?gica do Evangelho de Mateus, aplicar o horizonte conceitual scheleriano ? realidade dos vers?culos b?blicos, a fim de responder qual a rela??o entre modelo religioso e experi?ncia religiosa da comunidade mateana.

It aims to know the origin, the objectives, the organizative structure of the cristotecas , as well as the intents of the young people who take part of them and the influence of these parties over the youth. The cristotecas are analysed from the point of view of their inclusion in a wider context, configured by social and cultural changes the modern contemporary societies are passing over, whose transformations fall over the religious field and rouse new forms of organization and religious expressions. The focus of the investigation aims to verify how the music and the dance both coexisting along the human existence with religious purposes are used by the cristoteca not only for youth‟s leisure and entertainment, but specially as an strategy of evangelization: to attract the young people, to provide them a religious experience and an encounter with God, and to bring them to the Catholic Church communitarian convivial / Esta pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo as baladas católicas, denominadas cristotecas, promovidas desde 2003 pelo Movimento Eclesial Aliança de Misericórdia, na cidade de São Paulo. Visa conhecer a origem, os objetivos, a estrutura organizativa das cristotecas, as motivações dos jovens que delas participam e a influência destas baladas na vida desses jovens. As cristotecas são analisadas a partir da sua inserção num contexto mais amplo, configurado pelas mudanças socioculturais por que passam as sociedades modernas contemporâneas, cujas transformações incidem sobre o campo religioso, suscitando novas formas de organização e expressões religiosas. O foco da investigação tem por objetivo verificar como a música e a dança  presentes no decorrer da história da humanidade com finalidade religiosa são utilizadas nas cristotecas, não apenas como um meio de lazer e entretenimento para a juventude, mas, especialmente, como uma estratégia de evangelização: atrair os jovens, proporcionar-lhes uma experiência religiosa, um encontro com Deus, e trazê-los para o convívio da Igreja Católica

The magazine was founded in Brazil in 1934. In its beginning it was only a leaflet, but to-day it is one of the most spread magazines that propagate religion and Catholicism in Brazil. In the magazine, we outlined the object of our research, by focusing the matters of the Section Cultura Popular (Popular Culture) in the years 1980 and 1981. After an introduction about Saint Paul´s Society, its Founder and about the origin and evolution of the magazine in Italy and in Brazil, we described the Section and commented the topics that disclose the catholic popular culture and religion. Then we organized the subjects in five themes: devotions, folklore and folkloric rhythms, myths of popular faith, pilgrimages, and saints. Based on theoretical references, we analyzed the aspects of the popular religiosity that appear in the matters. The magazine´s purpose is to describe and to expose the subjects without special intention of analyzing and commenting them. However, in our research, we found a richness of themes for religious studies. The religious atmosphere of the matters may be red in the light of Puebla´s Conference description of catholic popular religiosity. The subjects we studied gave chance to point out a rich repertory of cultural, religious and existential values of the popular religiosity that indicate concretely and deeply the encounter of the divine and the human life, that goes further than the ritual manifestations and creates a peculiar vision of the world, the so called sensus fidei that makes the sacred always present in all aspects of life / A Revista Família Cristã teve origem na Itália e nasceu como um dos veículos para realizar o grande sonho do fundador da Família Paulina no intuito de levar o Evangelho a todos os povos. Foi implantada no Brasil em 1934, começando como um simples folheto. Hoje é uma das maiores revistas de divulgação da religião e do catolicismo. Nesta revista, recortamos o objeto da nossa pesquisa, a saber, o estudo da religiosidade popular que aparece nas matérias da Seção Cultura Popular nos anos de 1980 e 1981. Depois de um capítulo introdutório sobre a Família Paulina, seu fundador e as origens e a evolução da Revista na Itália e no Brasil, passamos a descrever a Seção e a comentar as 26 matérias que abordam a cultura e a religiosidade popular brasileira. Além de descrever e comentar,organizamos as matérias em grupos temáticos e levantamos a partir delas questões para análise pelos estudiosos da religião. Os grupos temáticos são as devoções, o folclore e os ritmos folclóricos, os mitos na fé do povo, as romarias, os santos, todos eles no cenário da religiosidade popular católica. A pesquisa buscou também ir além da descrição e organização das matérias e estabelecer, a partir de referenciais teóricos, uma análise interpretativa dos vários aspectos da religiosidade popular trazidos pelas reportagens. Apesar da índole descritiva e narrativa das matérias, descobriu-se nelas um rico temário para os estudos da religião. O halo religioso que permeia essas manifestações reflete com muita propriedade o entendimento do Documento de Puebla sobre a religiosidade popular. A partir das matérias foi possível apontar um repertório dos mais significativos de valores culturais, religiosos e existenciais que impregnam a religiosidade popular e manifestam de modo concreto e profundo a experiência do encontro do humano com o divino, que vai além da festa, da dança, do ritual e cria uma visão de mundo peculiar. O sensus fidei, pelo qual o sagrado sempre está presente em todas as contingências da vida

Nikos Kazantzakis� Captain Michales is a freedom fighter in nineteenth century Crete. Patrick White�s Voss is a German explorer in nineteenth century Australia. Two men struggling for achievement, their disparate social contexts united in the same fundamental search for meaning. This thesis makes comparison of these different struggles through thematic analysis of the texts, examining within the narratives the role of food, perceptions of body and soul, landscapes, gender relations, home-coming and religious experience. Themes from the novels are extracted and intertwined, within a range of theoretical frameworks: history, anthropology, science, literary and social theories, religion and politics; allowing close investigation of each novel�s social, political and historical particularities, as well as their underlying discussion of perennial human issues. These novels are each essentially explorations of the human experience. Read together, they highlight the commonest of human elements, most poignantly the need for communion; facilitating analysis of the individual and all our communities. Comparing the two novels also continues the process of each: examining the self both within and outside of the narratives, producing a new textual self, arising from both primary sources and the contextual breadth of such rewriting.
